For Ned, 1980 seems a blissful year. Handsome, charming, popular and talented, his life is progressing smoothly, effortlessly, happily. And when he meets the lovely Portia Fendeman his personal jigsaw appears complete. But timing is everything in life, and his life is about to change for ever. Things are going to get very bad indeed for innocent young Ned. A promise made to a dying teacher and a spiteful trick played by fellow pupils will rocket Ned from cricket captain to solitary confinement, from head boy to hell. When Ned emerges he is a man bent on just one thing - revenge; and revenge is a dish he plans to savour and serve to those who conspired against him. Part love story, part thriller, a gloriously rich mix that only Stephen Fry can dish up to us, The Stars' Tennis Balls will leave you happy and replete.

Have read the book multiple times, and have now listened to it. Without hesitation would remark that this title is by far my most favourite book. Stevens delivery and performance really brought my enjoyment to the next level. I've always enjoyed the story of The Count of Monte Cristo, so to have it presented in a modern style is very pleasing. Would recommend it to anybody.

Absolutely loved it.

A splendid parody of the Count of Monte Cristo. A tale of revenge and injustice.

I actually had to change my plans so I could listen to the end. Twisty turny grippy. Loved it!
